Trousers are the foundation that everything above the waist is building on and getting them right in terms of fit and appropriateness for the occasion makes an enormous difference to how the whole outfit reads. We’ve made most of the trouser mistakes over the years. Jeans that were too long and piled up around the ankles. Chinos that were too slim and restricted movement in a way that made sitting down an event. Suit trousers that had been hemmed by someone who’d apparently measured only one leg. The trouser fit conversation has also evolved significantly over the last few years as the consensus has moved away from very slim cuts toward something with more ease through the leg and that evolution has actually been a good thing for most men because more relaxed cuts tend to be more flattering across a wider range of body types. This section covers everything from weekend jeans to formal suit trousers and everything that sits between them.
